Sustainability and quality of environment are integral to the Vision for Firepool. The holistic approach to sustainable development will encompass environmental, social and economic aspects.
Energy efficient design, renewable energy sources, local materials and sustainable construction techniques will combine to create a distinctive environment, which minimises emissions and will ensure Firepool achieves the highest standards in design and sustainability for both commercial and residential development.
The reuse of this existing “brownfield” site with excellent rail, bus and cycle access makes Firepool an inherently sustainable location. New pedestrian streets and riverside walkways mean Taunton’s town centre and all its facilities are within a comfortable 5 minute stroll.
Employment and residential uses side by side make this a truly mixed use scheme. Shops, restaurants, cafes and leisure facilities will create a distinctive and dynamic heart to Firepool. High quality public realm incorporating green and tranquil areas for office workers, families and visitors alike will be complemented by the natural riverside location.
